I think u have to ask urself some simple question.
1.) What do u hope to achieve by servning NS?
2.) Does me serving NS help me in my future?
3.) Do you want to use 2 years of your life to serve, whereas u
also could use these 2 year to do something useful as well?
4.) NS is not a child's game, when u buay tahan inside liao, do u
think u can quit as easily as u sign up. Army is not a game, u
cannot suka suka come, suka suka go one.
5.) Am I ready for rules and regulations lifestyle for 2 years? If
u are a rebel ur whole life be prepared for a shock in the army.
i.e. NO FREEDOM.
6.) Are u ready to be lead by someone who might be 2 years younger
than u and have a IQ and attitude of a six year-old? (And worst, u
cannot argue with him?) Or lead by someone who might be in his late
thirties, early forties but still have an IQ and attitiude of a six
year old.
7.) Are u ready to let go of what u have now? i.e. Most important
thing to loose is privacy, the other is like no air-con lah, no PC
for a week lah, no pub, no go out with friends, no jalan jalan
outside, etc.
At lastly, u think u are ready but are u really?
The reason I am saying this is, when u serve, during ur xiong
training, this question might pop up in ur mind....
"WHY AM I DOING HERE?"
U have to be mentally prepared to answer urself with on this
question.
For Singaporeans and 2nd gen PR, they dun really have a choice or
say in NS, they are dragged in screaming and kicking. So when the
above question pop up in their mind, they have a ready answer "I am
Singaporean or I am a 2nd gen PR, LAN LAN".
But u have a choice, so make ur choice wisely. Once ur decision is
final, DON'T REGRET IT.
